Wimbledon | Sabalenka ends Jabeur’s campaign, earns a meeting with Pliskova

The Belarusian’s power too much to handle for the Tunisian; Czech cruises past Golubic; Barty takes on Kerber in the other semifinal

Aryna Sabalenka ended Ons Jabeur’s historic run at Wimbledon on Tuesday, the second-seeded Belarus player’s power getting the better of the guile of the Tunisian. Sabalenka won 6-4, 6-3 in 74 minutes. The 23-year-old, who had only won one match on her three previous visits to SW19, will play former World No. 1 Karolina Pliskova who eased into the last four with a straight sets win over Viktorija Golubic. Jabeur lost for the second time in a Grand Slam quarterfinal. Sabalenka may sport a tiger tattoo — it prompted her parents not to speak to her for a week in 1998 — but the broadest of smiles spread across her face as she soaked up the reality of her achievement.
